About the Author:
Jackie Jafarian Broad lives in northern California with her husband Ken and their three children, Madelyn, Alyssa and Jared. It was Jackie's oldest daughter, Madelyn, who inspired the book. When Jackie commented that Madelyn's baby sister, Alyssa, was cute enough to eat - Madelyn replied, You can't because you'd choke. A story concept was born!
This is Jackie's first book and she is working on her next title Blastoff to Breakfast!
Review:
Grandma Wants to Eat My Baby Sister! plays off of how literally kids take what we say as adults. And why not? They don't know any better. Your family will love this very funny book about a little girl getting used to having a little sister around.

Chosen as a BookTree selection: In children's picture books, you see the same themes over and over again. However, a book on idioms is a rare find. Grandma Wants to Eat My Baby Sister! does a great job explaining...the concept of idioms in the context of a fun story. The side theme of a younger sibling is a nice touch.

As a parent/ teacher, I loved Grandma Wants to Eat My Baby Sister!. Growing up hearing some of these idioms, I was taken by the clever story and wonderful illustrations making these words come alive. This book is great for children of all ages and especially for our Second Language English learners. Idioms are the hardest to learn in any language. Bravo!
